Its fathers day! So I thought it would be a perfect day to update Noelle's baby book. Noelle is now 5.25 months old and 16 lbs., about 28" long (whoa), has some beautiful chestnut brown hair and beautiful dark green eyes (like her mama and jeremy's mother, Barbara). She is feisty And determined and an absolute joy. She is VERY good at communicating what she wants. She makes loud noises to say "I want up" or "let me touch" or "feed me now!!" lol. We're easily understanding what she wants now and its just a question of getting it to her fast enough. She loves her Johnny Jump-Up and will jump up and down and try to grab the cat for about 15-30 minutes giving me just enough time to empty the dishwasher in the kitchen. My mom bought her a walker (its pink and green) and she likes the activities that come with it and pushes herself backwards. She can almost sit up on her own but sometimes still puts her face to things instead of bringing things to her face with her hands. She rolls everywhere and crawled forward for the first time on Thursday. She likes to be held but NEVER on her back. She has to see everything, always.
Jeremy was laid off from his job about a week ago so he's at home networking while Noelle and I look for fun things to do. She's making changing and putting clothes on as difficult as possible and she wears her amber teething necklace 24/7 now. I can feel 2 teeth coming up on the right of her bottom gums. She's cranky sometimes and we try to help her with some acetaminophen, teething gel and hylands teething tablets. Jeremy likes to take her for walks in her stroller twice a day. She is obsessed with the pets (Artoo & Tabitha). She loves to touch them, and were showing her how to pet not grab. Tabitha loves to lick her face.
She's eating with us in the morning now! We make her some organic fruit puree, organix baby food or some sugar free apple sauce. My mom bought her some tiny spoons. We cover her in a huge bib (tarp) because of course she makes a huge mess. Her infant insert and tray are on the way for her keekaroo high chair right now. We only feed her once in the morning and she's 90% still on donated breast milk. She makes friends wherever she goes and she smiles and laughs at people all of the time. She does great in her carseat and just falls asleep really fast. Life is really good with her. She'll be crawling soon for sure and Jeremy and I are looking into baby proofing pretty quick. Bath time is still her favorite time of day ever. She now has 20+ bath toys and loves to jump after each of them. We feel as though we have 40+ eyeballs watching our every move when we're in the bathroom.
